We got home safely as planned. Not that we are glad that our holiday is finally over. I don’t know where to start because I have got too much to tell. This time around, our journey wasn’t as straight forward as our previous experience. The alarm went off at about 05:15 on 19/12. Reluctantly, I dragged myself out of the warm bed and headed to the bathroom. All the presents and clothes were already packed. The pre-booked cab reached on time. It was a freezing morning, hence, we wasted no time...

We had our first snow in London 2 days ago! I was so excited when I saw the snow flakes dropping from the sky! Probably, I was as excited as the kids, couldn’t wait to get out of the house and catch the snow flakes as they dropped from the sky. The snow didn’t stay like it did in February, which was probably the thickest snow that I have ever seen in my life! Well, I could only enjoy it from inside for...

Claypot Fish (砂煲鱼)...

Posted by My Cooking Hut in Chinese Food, Featured Articles, Fish & Seafood on 13 December, 2009 | 32 Comments

Claypot cooking is one of my favourites. Years ago when I was still a student in KL, I often frequented hawkers stalls for lunch and dinner. One of the dishes like claypot chicken rice by never failed to catch my attention. I always like my food to be warm when served, and claypot is the best in keeping the heat. Claypot cooking is not only a famous method used in SE Asia, it is also commonly used in several cuisines...

Asam Laksa (Rice Noodles in Hot and Sour Fish Grav...

Posted by My Cooking Hut in Featured Articles, Fish & Seafood, Malaysian Food, Noodles on 6 December, 2009 | 48 Comments

Just a few weeks ago, I went out with a friend of mine and told her that I was craving for Asam Laksa. I mentioned that I hadn’t eaten Asam Laksa for too long that I couldn’t even remember how many years? Yeah, it does sound incredibly shocking but that was the fact. When you don’t live in Malaysia, it does seem a little bit difficult to eat something like Asam Laksa unless you go to a good Malaysian...

I could feel a sudden change of weather. We have had kind of wet and stormy weather for the past 2 weeks or so? It rained again yesterday, which was horrible. Not only was the rain that made me feel miserable but the continuous strong gust of wind that was powerful enough to break lots of umbrellas out there! We no longer have double digits of temperature. I am not optimistic about the weather, it is unsettled, the...

It was 2 weeks ago that I went to Masterchef Live & BCC Food Food Show in London. I would like to thank Lauren and Cherry from ForeverBetter for inviting me to this food event. It has been a great experience this time round to BBC Good Food Show in London. It was different and very interesting as one of the highlights was the MasterChef Live Invention Test, which I took part in! All the candidates were given 30...

Remember my Muesli breakfast post about Dorset Cereals? Since the giveaways, I received emails and comments from some of the lucky winners, giving me feedback about Dorset Cereals products. I was told how good the cereals were and they were happy to have been able to try. One of the many feedbacks that I received was ” I just love the Dorset Cereals bars, I ate it everyday and didn’t realise that I finished...

Som Tam (Thai Papaya Salad)...

Thai food. How do you describe Thai food? I would just simply say sweet, sour, and spicy! It’s a cuisine that is full of flavours, good use of ingredients and always never too complicated. I know I probably have mentioned this too many times but I am really glad that I have been brought up in a society that has allowed me to taste different cuisines without having to travel too far! There’s one Thai restaurant...

Greek Yogurt with Honey...

Posted by My Cooking Hut in Desserts & Snacks, Featured Articles on 14 November, 2009 | 33 Comments

Greek yogurt has got very thick and creamy texture as there is an extra step in making Greek yogurt compared to the normal yogurt, which result in its thickness. This extra step is that after the milk is heated and cultured, it is then left in muslin cloth, so that the whey filters whey out of the yogurt. Because of this extra step in the process, Greek yogurt is less runny than other types of yogurt. Yogurt is a quick...

Yaki Gyōza Recipe...

Posted by My Cooking Hut in Featured Articles, Japanese Food on 7 November, 2009 | 37 Comments

Gyōza is one of those dishes that I will definitely order whenever I go to Japanese restaurant. Gyōza is originally a Chinese dish before becoming a staple in Japanese cuisine. Jiaozi or potsticker is the equivalent of gyōza in Chinese dish. Gyōza typically consists of ground meat, garlic, cabbage, nira (Chinve vhinces), soya sauce, and sesame oil, which is then wrapped into thinly rolled piece of dough and...
